What Women Want

How women choose a male companion is not only about having a type, in the essence of blond with blue eyes; instinct, deeper need, even the relationship they have with themselves can play an important role. But who are these men, women most commonly prefer?

The good looking guy:

Studies have shown that 30% of women prefer a companion with objectively good looks. Science agrees that looks are one of the main components of attraction, at least in the beginning, when the two are still getting to know one another. Thus for some women good looks equals’ good quality. On a subconscious level these links create the illusion of more substantial characteristics; that these men are automatically friendlier, interesting, sensitive, and smart.

The successful guy:

A successful man, either economically or professionally, can provide some stability that many insecure women have a need for. Though only 10% of women prefer men with professional success and the rest prefer economic success.

The good guy:

According to the University of Bristol, a man’s character is one of the most important elements for attraction to take place. Characteristics such as empathy, sensitivity and devotion seem to be what women appreciate more.
